Ocean Pointe is a housing development and a census-designated place (CDP) located in the ʻEwa District and the City & County of Honolulu on the leeward side of Oʻahu in Hawaiʻi about fifteen miles (24 km) from Honolulu. As of the 2020 census, Ocean Pointe had a population of 14,965.[2] This general area was previously known just as ʻEwa. In the late 19th century to early 20th century, ʻEwa was one of the large population centers on the Island of Oʻahu, with industry focused around sugar cane production. The ʻEwa Mill was a major employer that set up residential villages. Sugar cane is no longer grown on the ʻEwa Plain and Ocean Pointe is now part of Oʻahu's new suburban growth center—an area of substantial sprawl spreading unbroken to the south to ʻEwa Beach, north to Honouliuli, and west to Kalaeloa and Kapolei. This area is now referred to as Oʻahu's Second City, with a city center (downtown) located in Kapolei.
Ocean Pointe is located at 21°18'38" North, 158°2'11" West (21.310556, -158.036389),[3] inland from ʻEwa Beach on the west side of the main thoroughfare, Fort Weaver Road (Hawaii Route 76). This highway runs north past ʻEwa to Waipahu, connecting there to Farrington Highway (State Rte. 90) and the H-1 freeway. A major cross street is Kapolei Parkway, which connects to Kapolei City Center.
More specifically, the CDP is located west of Fort Weaver Road, south of Keaunui Drive, east and south of Essex Road, north of the Pacific Ocean, north of Pupu Place, west of Pupu Street, and north of Papipi Road (not including Papipi Drive, however).[4] According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 2.14 square miles (5.5 km2), of which 2.03 square miles (5.3 km2) is land and 0.11 square miles (0.28 km2) is covered by water.
